Knickers the steer is huge on the internet — for being huge.

The black-and-white Holstein Friesian won social media fame and many proclamations of "Holy Cow!" after photos surfaced of the 194-centimeter (6-foot-4-inch) steer standing head and shoulders above a herd of brown cattle in Western Australia state.

The sizable steer had Twitter users enthralled, including Chrissy Teigen, who wrote, "this is why I buy internet on flights."

The bull that has to be seen to be believed. It's no optical illusion, Knickers the steer is enormous, with a standing height of almost two metres and weighing close to one and half tonnes. #BigBull#TTAdelaidepic.twitter.com/gSsrfgS7Sq
